Fading

I can see you fading,
Right before my eyes.
And as you disappear,
I promise I won’t cry.

Though you were never mine,
This hurts more than you know.
Please give me a goodbye,
Before you need to go?

You will belong to her,
And my heart will ache.
But I’ll be strong for you;
What courage it will take.

One day you may see,
That I’ve always been waiting.
Right since the beginning,
Your words so compensating.

I’ll withhold all this pain,
Though you will never tell.
The same way you don’t know,
How in love I just fell.

I won’t cry, though I love you,
Like I have since the start.
And if you feel you’re fading,
Just grab onto my heart.
